Polyacrylamide Flocculant

Industrial Polymers (Polyacrylamide)

Anionic, cationic, and non-ionic polyacrylamide flocculants for superior flocculation, sedimentation, and sludge dewatering across water treatment, mining, and process industries.

Product Overview

Industrial polyacrylamide (PAM) polymers are high molecular weight water-soluble polymers used as flocculants, coagulant aids, retention aids, and sludge conditioners in a wide range of water treatment and industrial processing applications. They work by bridging individual colloidal particles or floc aggregates into larger, denser flocs that settle rapidly under gravity or are easily separated by centrifugation, belt press, or filter press dewatering.

Cleanex Chemicals supplies anionic polyacrylamide (APAM), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), and non-ionic polyacrylamide (NPAM) in both powder (granular) and emulsion forms, covering a range of molecular weights (5–20 million Daltons) and charge densities to match specific application requirements.

Selection guide: Anionic polymers are suitable for mineral slurries and ETP sludge; cationic polymers are best for municipal and organic sludge; non-ionic polymers work well in acidic conditions and for coal washery applications.
